Interviews can be nerve-wracking, but sometimes they reveal more about the company than you might expect. A recent Reddit thread had users sharing their worst interview stories, highlighting red flags that screamed, "Run!" One particular tale involved an applicant who called out the company's terrible Glassdoor reviews. Instead of addressing the concerns, the interviewer got so mad that they abruptly ended the interview. She dodged a major bullet there. This incident sparked a flood of similar…

These job candidates thought they were nailing their interviews, but their interviewers knew that they were flunking them. During job interviews, hiring managers meet all sorts of people. They meet people with little experience but awesome personalities. Some candidates are highly experienced and seem great for the role, with only a few minor issues that need to be addressed. The hiring manager might have to speak with dozens of candidates before making their final decision. It's based on the c…

After remaining loyal to a company for several years, what would be the final straw for you to call it quits? If you don't have any work drama, the most common answer is probably for a better salary elsewhere. Lots of employees boast about job hopping in their early career in order to reach a desired salary. Some even claim that it's the only way to significantly increase their earnings, as a lot of jobs don't give regular raises, and if they do, they are hardly enough to keep up with inflati...

Always document everything!

Who knew that summer camps also qualify as toxic workplace environments? Sure, on the surface, kids are running around, playing flag football, and picking on one another in ways that will likely scar them for the rest of their lives. However, underneath the surface, counselors may also be dealing with some unnecessary nonsense, particularly as it relates to pay. This counselor was under the impression that she would be getting paid every two weeks, as that was expressly written in her contract.…

Sometimes you need to seek out karma, sometimes karma is thurst upon you.

It seems like no matter what job you are applying for, the interview process is always excruciatingly long. Even if the job is a cashier at a gas station or a simple grocery store clerk, people will treat it like it is the most important job ever, and suddenly you are not even qualifying enough to get it. Is it really necessary for an employer to know a potential hire's weaknesses? If All they will be doing is bag groceries, what difference does it make? This is pretty much the point that this…

'You just know that they were sitting around the corporate round table with those stupid grins, patting themselves on the back, remarking, "What a great idea!"'

Sometimes a beautiful thing can blossom out of something horrible. For example, a higher-paying job can blossom from how you handle a Karen tantrum. Which is exactly what happened to this Redditor . She was enjoying her lunch at a restaurant she did not work at. She had interviewed with them, but it was too soon to know anything about that. She had only an hour for lunch from her actual chef job at a completely different restaurant, so was trying to down her food as fast as possible. All of a s…

Who here works a full time job and is not interested in making any money? Nobody? No takers?! Exactly. The majority of the workforce isn't driven by passion, work-ethic, or altruism– we're driven by cold, hard cash. Anyone who says otherwise is either delusional or a professional recruiter. Although usually head hunters like to swoon their prey with pretty words and shiny pay-days, sometimes there's that dime-in-a-dozen recruiter that has the audacity to...

Top-tier employees usually go unnoticed by upper management. As a workforce, we go above and beyond to keep the company on its feet and it seems like the folks that reap the most benefits have the fewest qualifications. Nepotism ransacks corporations, leaving open the managerial positions for those with shared genetics with the C-level bosses, god-complexes, and an Associates Degree in Business.

When you're the expert in your field, you can choose to be picky about what jobs you accept.

How many red flags does one need before it's time to quit and run? Imagine going through an interview process and being told an hourly rate that you're comfortable with should you get the position. Then, you get said position and you're told the exact same number as you sign the contract. Now that the contract is signed and you're beginning to schedule your training, you're told a wildly different number by someone else. You contact your boss and they tell you not to worry about it. You move fo…

A small-business employee is worried about what a coworker's sudden departure is going to mean for them. When you're on a small team, every absence is noticeable — someone's going to have to pick up the slack. But this guy wants to take things even further, by telling the boss what their coworker is planning. This person turned to r/AmItheA**hole before putting this plan into place. U/DPP_Toku is in an awkward position at their job. Their coworker, “G," is about to leave the company, but for so…

People you work with will have certain expectations of you, and when given the opportunity, can cause a few inconveniences if and when you don't meet said expectations… in other words, people like to be petty. In this case, OP got as petty as petty can get, when she got a shot at making a former coworker's life a little harder than it needed to be. Back in the day, OP was working as a supervisor at a company, and her job included a lot of travel. There was a conference she needed to get to, so…

This new employee just didn't have what it took to succeed on an oil farm . One oil farm employee worked as a data entry specialist, and encountered this new worker who absolutely refused to take orders from her. Her “orders” were just filling out basic paperwork… but somehow this Florida Man thought that that was emasculating to him. Not to mention that the OP was just 17 years old at the time, which just gave this Florida Man more reason to be angry with her. As people in the comments noted,…
